The American Arbor Vitæ is a
"spiry evergreen attaining a height of from 20 to 50 feet, though generally not above
40, and a diameter of about 10 to 20 feet through the greatest breadth of foliage." It
abounds in the upper zones of North America, from Pennsylvania northwards, where it
"often forms what are commonly known as cedar-swamps. It grows upon the rocky banks of
rivers, and in low, swampy spots, blossoming from May until June and maturing its fruit in
autumn. The Arbor Vitæ assumes a conical form with such true lines as to appear 'clipped,'
thus forming one of our most valued high-hedge trees" (Millspaugh). Thuja was introduced to France from Canada in the reign of
Francis I. of France, and it has now an honoured place in most of our gardens and
shrubberies. The native habitat of Thuja is not without
its importance in relation to therapeutics. It loves swamps; it is Hahnemann's typical
antisycotic and Grauvogl's hydrogenoid. Thuja is one of
Hahnemann's discoveries. Most of the remedies of his materia medica had been known in a
fashion before his time. Of the therapeutic properties of Thuja
practically nothing was known till Hahnemann proved it. Subsequent observers have only
confirmed or added to Hahnemann's pathogenesis. Hahnemann found in Thuja
the antidote to the miasm of the condition which he termed Sycosis,
meaning thereby the constitutional disease resulting from constitutional gonorrha, and
having as its characteristic manifestation excrescences, sometimes dry in the form of warts,
more frequently soft, spongy, emitting a fetid fluid with a sweetish odour something like
herring brine, bleeding readily and having the coxcomb or cauliflower form. Teste remarks
that in the period when the doctrine of Signatures prevailed the "resinous callosities
of the stems and leaves of Thuja occ. might have seemed
an indication that the plant was the specific for sycosis and warts." Teste dismisses
this idea, but he asks whether resinous substances which have the power of modifying
vegetable juices in a peculiar way may not affect the animal fluids in the same manner. He
includes Castor. in his Thuja
group, and gives an instance in which it acted on fig-warts. Castor.
is the product of an animal which subsists on the bark of resinous trees.─Hering
gives this as the action of Thuja (1) on the fluids: "dissolution of fluids of the body, which
become acrid, probably caused by Thuja perverting
lymphatic secretions; disturbs digestion and sanguification"; and this (2) in the vegetative sphere: "A surplus of producing life;
nearly unlimited proliferation of pathological vegetations, condylomata, warty sycotic
excrescences, spongy tumours, and spongy pock exudates [which] organise hastily; all morbid
manifestations are excessive, but appear quietly, so that the beginning of the diseased
state is scarcely known." Bnninghausen found Thuja
both preventive and curative in an epidemic of small-pox. It aborted the process and
prevented pitting. In veterinary practice Thuja has
proved curative in farcy and in "grease." These facts open up another great branch
of Thuja's homopathicity─its
anti-vaccinal action. This extension was made by Kunkel and Goullon following on
Bnninghausen's experience with small-pox. On this subject no one has written more forcibly
or lucidly than Burnett (Vaccinosis and its Cure by Thuja).
"Arbor Vitæ: nomen omen," says Burnett on his
title-page. And in his hands Thuja has proved indeed a
tree of life to numberless sufferers from the vaccinal taint. By "vaccinosis"
Burnett means the disease known as vaccinia, the result of vaccination, plus "that profound and often long-lasting morbid
constitutional state engendered by the vaccine virus." To this state Thuja is homopathic, and therefore curative and preventive of
it. Burnett makes the profound observation, which I can confirm, that the vaccine virus does
not need to "take" (that is, to set up vaccinia) in order to produce the vaccinal
dyscrasia: that "not a few persons date their ill-health from a so-called unsuccessful
vaccination." So that vaccinosis may exist apart from vaccinia. The antivaccinal action
of Thuja is part of its antisycotic action: vaccinia is
a sycotic disease. Burnett gives the case of an infant ten weeks old, whom he was called to
see as it was supposed to be dying. He found it ghastly white and in collapse. There was
nothing to account for this except that the baby had had its wet-nurse changed two or three
days before. The wet-nurse was questioned and declared herself quite well and looked it; but
"her arm was a little painful." She had been revaccinated in the Marylebone
Workhouse the day before she took charge of the patient. Burnett found the vaccine eruption
just turning into the pustular stage. He concluded that the infant was sucking the vaccinal
poison with its nurse's milk. He gave Thuja 6 to both
infant and nurse. The baby gradually improved the same day, and next morning was, though
still pale, practically well, and the vaccinal vesicles on the nurse's arm had withered.
Burnett quotes a case of vaccinal rash in an infant following the vaccination of its mother,
who was nursing it. The effects of chronic vaccinosis are protean. Prominent among them are
neuralgias (of which Burnett gives many examples), morbid skin disorders, indigestion, and
constipation; warts and new growths of many kinds. In these effects a favourite method of
Burnett's was to give a course of twenty-four numbered powders, only three or four of them
medicated with Thuja 30; one to be taken at bedtime.
With the same prescription he cured many cases of paralysis, his indications being: Left
side of body; very chilly; < in morning, in wet
weather, and in cold: with these indications present he also found enlargements of the
spleen to dissolve. In 1889 I was consulted by Mr. A., 38, about a lump, or rather two
lumps, in the right breast, which was like that of a girl approaching puberty, the left
breast being quite flat and normal. There was a hard, not sharply defined lump to the right
of the nipple, and a smaller one to the left of it, but freely movable, the larger somewhat
tender and irritated by the pressure of the brace. The tumours had existed eighteen months
and came on at a time of much anxiety when his wife died of consumption. His paternal
grandmother and two aunts had died of cancer. He had been twice vaccinated, but on the
second occasion the arm did not "rise." As a small boy his hands were covered with
warts.─At eight he had shingles. On August 15th Thuja
10m F. C. was given. October 21th.─If anything tumours a little less. Thuja 10m continued at intervals. February 4, 1890.─Tumours
can only be felt with difficulty. No pain. The medicine was repeated and when next seen some
time later the patient was absolutely well. A very much vaccinated lady developed at the
climacteric indurations in both breasts, especially the right. Menses were accompanied by
severe neuralgic pains. Thuja was given in 1m, 10m, and
cm F. C. potencies. The last set up attacks of angina pectoris of such intensity that I did
not repeat it. The indurations disappeared, but in the course of the cure an eruption
closely resembling small-pox developed over her breasts on more than one occasion. The first
case I treated homopathically was one of new growths─a cluster of
small warts on the forehead of a boy which had lasted eighteen months and followed the
scratch of a cat. Thuja Ø in fractional doses and Thuja Ø painted on cured permanently in three weeks. A
gentleman, about 50, consulted me recently about a wart on the right side of his head. He
was bald, and the wart was black and unsightly. It had been growing some months, and he was
somewhat anxious about it as his father had had a similar wart develop in the same locality
at the same age, and it had never left him. My patient had been twice vaccinated. Thuja 30, twenty-eight powders, one in seven medicated, one at
bedtime. In one month there was much reduction; Thuja
was repeated, and in little over two months the wart was gone. Burnett says Thuja is the remedy for fatty tumours, which he regards as
sycotic in nature. Thuja not only produces symptoms of
the secondary stage of gonorrhal and vaccinal affections, it also produces urethritis and
a variolous eruption. Dudgeon has reported acute urethritis with yellow discharge lasting
altogether a fortnight as the result of chewing a Thuja
cone. Mersch (H. M., xxx. 686) gave Thuja 3 to a patient as a prophylactic against small-pox. This
patient and another who took it for the same purpose developed simple urethritis. Mersch
proved Thuja Ø on himself and some others: (1) M. N. had rose-coloured blotches on the back, and several days
after leaving off the medicine had warts develop on the outer side of the root of the thumb.
These were still present three years after, though smaller and softer. (2) Mersch himself, who took Thuja
for fifteen days, had heavy sensation in the head on waking, an eruption of desquamative
annular blotches, and from the twelfth day a tearing along the right arm which compelled him
to keep the arm flexed for eight days, < attempting
to extend the arm; slightly > by heat. A small soft
wart appeared at the external portion of right middle finger. This disappeared a month after
the proving was ended. ("< By extension" is
a characteristic of Thuja; it =
cracking in joints. The arm symptoms are also < when
the limb hangs down, which is also an extension.) Apropos
of the annular scaly blotches, I had a case of psoriasis of the legs in a youth which was
benefited by Thuja more than by any other remedy, though
the Thuja was given for some other affection. A patient
came to Raue (H. R., ii. 162) complaining that his semen
had a very offensive smell. Raue did not know of a remedy producing the symptom, but
selected Thuja. Two doses of the 200th and one of the
15th were taken. The man was at the time in the hands of an eminent dentist for his teeth,
which for five years had been a great trouble to him on account of their extreme
sensitiveness to cold; the gums were in a deplorable state and the teeth were encrusted with
tartar. After receiving the Thuja the extreme
sensitiveness of the teeth disappeared in one night; then the offensive odour of the semen.
In four days the patient again saw the dentist, who was amazed to find his gums quite sound.
Moreover, the patient had lost an oppression of the chest which had been troubling him some
time. Goullon (Leip. Pop. Zeit. f. H., translated Rev. H. Belge, September, 1895) relates the cure of a mental
state by Thuja 30x. He remarks that, following the
advice of Kunkel, he gives only a single dose of Thuja,
one or two drops of the tincture on sugar or milk, at bedtime. When he has given a second
dose the following night he has observed new symptoms "Thuja
in fact has a very marked action on sleep, and its symptoms appear by preference at night─the
headache, for example." This is the case: Miss R., 40; complained of her head,
especially at certain moments, when ideas which did not concern her in the least came to her
as if some one else was thinking by her side. Thuja produces a confusion in the thoughts which patients cannot
rid themselves of on account of great weakness and pain in the head. This patient had for
months been attending on a paralysed sister, frequently getting up in the night and worrying
herself about numberless things. Her nervous system was very impressionable, and for weeks
had reached a point of extreme over-excitement. She could no longer calm herself, and in
addition she sneezed and coughed much. The problem was to give her sleep and take away the
pain in the head. Even when she was not obliged to getup she could not get sleep. Her eyes
were also very much irritated. The patient afterwards described her condition thus: "I
felt in the anterior part of the head, principally the forehead, a sensation as if lead were
compressing my eyes; these were inflamed, < by light,
> in open air. Before going to sleep I felt a
congestion in the head with headache; at the same time queer, confused ideas which changed
like a flash and fell upon the most odd things. These were >
when I opened my eyes or sat up. Before my eyes images and statues arranged themselves. If I
wished to think of something sensible, in the twinkling of an eye I lost the thread of my
ideas. All this happened at night; during the day the wicked sprites did not appear. My head
and eyes pained me when there was much movement, as when several people were speaking at
once." The effect of the dose she described thus After having taken the Thuja I tasted a sweet repose; the next morning a complete
transformation had taken place in the head, the weight was gone, the eyes were more fresh,
the brain free." Goullon cured a lady who had had headache for a year; on waking felt
as if a tight hoop enclosed forehead, not passing away till noon. Eyelids
heavy as lead. Thuja 10x, one close at bedtime, permanently cured. A. W. Holcombe
(Med. Vis., xii. 225) relates experiences bearing on the
sleep and dreams of Thuja. (1)
Mrs. E., 48, had a growth, wart-like, about the size of a sixpence, on left temple. It began
as a slight roughness and itched at times. Also growth about the same size on a hard palate
(left), very sore. Much headache, on left side of the head, throbbing in left temple, and
the pains extend into left ear. Cannot sleet after 3 a.m. Dreams
much of falling. Feels smothering in a warm room. Thirsty, < noon and afternoon. Feet sweat much, offensive; sweats much
about groins. Thuja cm was given on October 25th. By
November 15th the growths and all the rest of the symptoms had disappeared. (2) Led by this same symptom, "almost every night, dreams of
falling from a height," Holcombe cured a man, 30, of tertian fever with Thuja cm when a large number of other seemingly well-indicated
remedies had failed. Robert Farley (quoted A. H., xxiii.
446) relates the case of two children, æt. 5, who had what he graphically terms
"urinary tantrums." Two hours after being put to bed they would wake kicking,
crying, and refusing to answer a question. This lasted an hour or more. Asked if they wanted
to urinate they would refuse to answer, strike at attendant, or even say "No."
Finally it was found that if they were taken up and put on the closet they would urinate and
then go to sleep readily. One of the children developed signs of incipient inflammation of
the left hip-joint. The totality led to the selection of Thuja,
which was given in the 200th. After the first night there were no more "tantrums,"
and in two months the child was perfectly well. This child's father had had gonorrha,
treated by injection, some years before the patient was born. But the other child's father
had not had gonorrha. In the latter case, which was exactly like the former, the cure was
immediate; in the former case relief occurred on the second night. C. W. Roberts (H. R., xii. 137) found Thuja
Ø, in five- to seven-drop doses at bedtime, control nocturnal seminal emissions better than
any other remedy. "Nocturnal seminal emission" is an emphasised symptom in M. M. P. Epulis is probably a malignant kind of sycotic
hyperplasia. Percy Wilde (H. W., xxi. 199) records the
case of a young married lady who had a large epulis on the lower jaw, rapidly increasing in
size, ulcerating on the surface, very painful, and filling the mouth with an ill-smelling
secretion. The entire tumour was removed by operation, and also the subjoined bone. Three
weeks later the tumour was as large as before and increased daily. Thuja
1x was now given. The growth stopped immediately; ulceration ceased; the pain disappeared.
In three weeks the gum was healthy and remained so permanently. Villers (quoted A. H., xxi. 421) relates a case of scalp tumour in a youth of
seventeen. The tumour had existed two years, and had somewhat the appearance of a bean. It
was situated about the posterior edge of the parietal bone, was devoid of sensation, and the
hair had disappeared from it, making it very conspicuous. Thuja
30 was given, a dose every twenty days. In four months the youth was almost cured, in five
months entirely so, the hair having grown again completely over the spot. George Royal
(quoted A. H., xxiii. 387) relates a case of persistent
cough cured with Thuja. Miss X., 19, fair, had for three
months a painless, dry cough. The irritation was only in the throat. There were six small
growths at the back of the throat, and one near the vocal cord. She never had a cough
before. Has leucorrha green and excoriating; menses a little too early. Thuja 30 cured the growths and the cough in about three weeks.
Old-school observers (N. A. J. H., xv. 63) have found in
Thuja an efficient hæmostatic, locally applied,
especially after tooth extraction. R. B. Johnstone (H. P.,
ix. 257) gives some indications for Thuja in hernia: (1) Women of sycotic history who have a tendency to left-side inguinal hernia after labour (Thuja,
high). (2) When babies cry much the umbilicus protrudes,
growing red and sore; especially when the father has a sycotic history. (3) Left inguinal hernia in infants; child cries all the time, and
is only quiet when the left inguinal region is relieved from pressure, or the thigh is
flexed on the abdomen. Bnninghausen observed this symptom of Thuja,
which bears on the action of Thuja on the sides and roots of teeth (a sycotic symptom), rather than on the crowns:
"on blowing nose, a pressing pain in the hollow tooth, at the side of it." The
left ovarian pains of Thuja are remarkable. They are
severe, sometimes burning, extend down thigh, any attempt at exercise and especially walking<; they occur with
every menstrual period, and are generally < before
and during the flow. The pain compels the patient to lie down; but lying on left side <. A keynote of Thuja is:
"Frequent micturition accompanying pains." For example: "In evening, when in
bed, terrible hammering and tearing in the ear, accompanied with
micturition every half-hour and coldness of the legs up to the knees. The desire
of Thuja is sudden and urgent, it seems impossible to
reach the vessel or make the necessary preparations, but the patient can control it if compelled. There is severe cutting as with a
knife at the end of micturition after the last drop has passed. Thuja
also has chronic incontinence from paralysis of sphincter vesicæ. This is related to the
general paretic weakness of Thuja. The patient feels she
"could not go on exerting any longer." Burnett (H. W.,
xxv. 487) records a case of lichen urticatus in a boy of fourteen, which came into his hands
after a long course of treatment, external, internal, and dietetic, at the hands of
allopathic specialists without result. The rash came periodically in warm weather; patient
literally tore himself because of the irritation. The rash was <
on the left (vaccinated side). Thuja 30 was given in
infrequent doses. The spots continued to appear for a week and then disappeared. The skin
remained clear in spite of the patient indulging in all kinds of previously forbidden foods.
Among the skin effects of Thuja the marks and stains
must be borne in mind. The skin is mottled and discoloured; brown or red mottled spots;
discoloration of the backs of the hands and feet.─Villers (J. of Hcs., iv. 408) treated a girl of twelve, who had had
headaches going from front to occiput and sometimes in temples. Pains mostly came towards
night, and were accompanied with an awful state of fear. The only account she could give of
her fear was that she saw green stripes. Alone or in
company, in the dark or in a well-lighted room the dread was always the same. Three years
before, the child had had an abortive attack of scarlatina, treated with cold compresses.
The urine had been abnormal all through the illness, but contained no albumen. Thuja 200, every tenth day. No more headache, nor fear. Patient
slept well from the first dose, and in a few days the urine became clear. "Floating
stripes" before the vision is a symptom of Thuja. Peculiar
Sensations are: As if a strange person were at her side. As if soul and body were
separated. As if under the influence of a superior power. As if whole body were very thin
and delicate; as if its continuity would be dissolved; as if frail and easily broken; as if
made of glass. As if a nail were pressing into vertex. As if vertex were pressed with a
needle. As if a nail were driven from within outward in vertex. As if a nail were driven
into right parietal bone and left frontal eminence. Lightning-like headache. As if a convex
button were pressed on left ear. As if head were screwed asunder. As if forehead would fall
out. As if bones of head were being knocked to pieces. Forehead, ears, and eyes as if
stabbed. As if knives went tearing around in brain. Scalp as if beaten. As if insects on
occiput and temples. As if eyes were swollen and would be pressed out of head. As of fine
sand in eyes. As if a cold stream of air were blowing through eyes. As if a foreign body in
eye. As if flesh were being torn from bones in left side and back. As if abdominal muscles
were being pushed out by arm of a child. As if a living animal were in abdomen. Sudden
bounding in right iliac region as if something alive. As if blood could not circulate in
back opposite pit of stomach. As if boiling lead were passed through rectum. As if anus
would fly to pieces during stool. As if skin of anus were cracked and chapped. Bladder as if
paralysed. As if moisture running in urethra. As if a tape prevented urination. As of a
single drop running along urethra. As if testicles moved. As if something were grown fast in
region of left lower ribs. As of falling drops in chest. Legs as if made of wood when
walking. As if lower limbs were elongated. As if muscles of thigh would break down.
Lightness in body when walking. As if flesh were beaten from bones. As if skin were pricked
with needles. As from fleabites. A keynote of Cooper's for Thuja
is, "its pains keep extending from their original site." Another indication of his
is, "pains > by wrapping up." Thuja is Suited to: (1)
Hydrogenoid constitutions (possessing "an increased capacity to contain water; hence
rain, cold, damp weather, beds, and food that increase the number of molecules of water in
the system < the symptoms"). (2) Strumous and sycotic persons. (3)
Lax muscles; light hair; children. (4) Lymphatic
temperament, in very fleshy persons, dark complexion, black hair, unhealthy skin. (5) Ailments from vaccination or from suppressed or maltreated
gonorrha. Thuja is a strongly left-sided medicine (the
left arm is usually vaccinated). The symptoms are: < By touch (scalp; vertex; eruption; anus; condylomata; = fingers to bleed); but >
pain in eyebrow and in left malar bone. Pressure >.
Rubbing >. Scratching >.
Closing eyes <. Fall =
wart-like growth ill labium. Overlifting < headache.
Rest > headache. Bending head backward > headache. Lying on left side =
anxious dreams. Lying on affected side > asthma.
Motion <. Extension <.
Letting arms hang down <. Walking <. Looking up >
headache. Throwing head back > headache. Talking < asthma. Ascending =
palpitation. Riding = incontinence of urine; < pain in ovary. < 3
a.m.; early morning (the sycotic time). < Night. < Cold water; cold: damp weather: change; draught;
overheating; sun's rays. < Bright light. < Warmth of bed. Warmth <.
Cold > rheumatism. <
After breakfast, after eating; after tea; coffee; fat food; onions. <
